Anxiety brings about its unique set of challenges for adult children of immigrants. Early on, there's a natural tendency to prioritize the needs of others over your own.

Balancing your own needs alongside these expectations may create moments of self-doubt or guilt. It's common to worry about disappointing others and feeling uncertain about managing your anxiety. However, with therapy, you don’t have to face these challenges alone.
